With which hopefully there is a beautiful follicle ready and waiting hehe. Fingers crossed for IUI next week

In other news, WTF is with insurance companies? I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I spoke to the Direct of Health Services back in March to verify what my OOP would be, what they would cover, etc. And now my RE is telling me that the insurance company is not going to cover anything. I'm like uh...no, they told me they would cover 50% of IUI. And every time I call the place, I get a different answer from each person I talk to! So ridiculous.

Hi Cycle Buddy! I went for my Day 3 bloodwork and ultrasound this morning. I will start my Follistim tonight, once I hear from my nurse with my results. I also have my first monitoring appointment on Monday! Today when they did the ultrasound they said they saw at least 5 small follicles on each side Are you using meds for your cycle?

Thanks!

We are actually doing much better, thank you so much for asking! We were definitely in a rut there and things are still a little fragile, but I let him know he could do this with me or not; if he feels like he cannot then he just needs to leave, and he has really come around. I still think that counseling would be a good idea for us, but it is OOP so we are putting that on hold for the moment, since we already have mounting medical bills from the whole IF thing. We've all been there lol. We are on the same page for now at least, so hopefully it stays that way.

I am glad that things are going better for you guys! GL on your IUI next week!!

And yea, insurance companies blow. I am lucky that mine "pays for IUIs" but it's still financially hard on us because we have a steep copay, so all the monitering appts get expensive. Also they say they pay for the IUI, but I guess in tiny print there are certain things they don't pay for (SA, or sperm collection). It's a PITA and I am one of the lucky ones so I can't even imagine!

I hope everything goes wonderful for you!! I can't stand insurance companies. What I do is I get the name of everyone I speak to and take notes of everything they say in a special notebook. I worked in a call center before and sometimes I let them know I'm taking notes so they get scared and "verify the information" they're giving me is correct because they know I will call back and I'll be able to tell exactly who I spoke to and exactly what they said.
